Lodging.  Lodging options listed for this weekend are in both shared and private options at the Tops'l Farmhouse, and Cider House (located 1.5 miles down the road from Tops'l Farm).

Please review the different options in our pricing page and choose which one might be best for you! Some are private rooms (just you), some are "private shared" (you and someone you know) and some are simply shared just like summer camp! Please reach out if you have any questions on these lodging types.

-Food.   All meals and snacks included. A focus on simple, nourishing meals with seasonal ingredients. Breakfast and lunch will be casual offerings that you can enjoy in a group setting or take to eat quietly somewhere on the farm.  Dinners will be in our event barn space & shared family style.

If you have dietary restrictions please let us know in the notes section on checkout and we will do our best to accommodate. 

- Misc. Alcohol, phone use, etc. We are not enforcing strict rules around these things. Our goal is to help create a space for yourself to truly recharge and reconnect with yourself. We highly encourage you to drop your phone off with us for a period of time. If that brings you severe anxiety, then of course this isn't the right choice for you. Same goes with choosing (or not) to have this time on the farm be spirit-free - we know you will make the best choice for yourself and we will honor that space!
